🌍 Yorkseed Passport Series: NYC Climate Tech x UNGA
Last week, Yorkseed brought our Passport Series back to New York during Climate Group x United Nations General Assembly, convening leaders to push conversations beyond the surface and into meaningful action.

The Future of Climate Risk IntelligenceSeptember 24
Hosted in partnership with Aldabra, this intimate roundtable at a private residence gathered investors and operators from Transcendance VC, Atlas Capital, Climate Tech Coalition, Morgan Stanley, and Arcadis.

The discussion centered on:
✔️ How enterprises are embedding climate intelligence into daily decisions
✔️ Gaps in tools, workflows, and adoption
✔️ Where capital can accelerate solutions in the next 3–5 years

With climate risk intelligence growing at nearly 30% CAGR, the urgency is undeniable: resilience is not optional, it’s existential.

🙏 Thank you to our partners and participants for bringing depth and candor to the table, and to InPulse for supporting the gathering.

🎨 Digital Visual Arts & InnovationSeptember 26
In collaboration with CREATANT and hosted at APCO, this cross-continental gathering welcomed students, creatives, investors, and industry leaders from the U.S., Europe, and Japan to explore the evolving intersection of AI and creativity.

Key takeaways from our panelists:
AI is a tool, not a replacementJulia Avramenko emphasized the irreplaceable role of human imagination.
Creativity under pressureSharon Schanzer spoke on freeing the mind in moments of stress.
Collaboration and visionSeref Mamas highlighted how platforms like CREATANT transform co-creation between artists and technologists.
Strategic foresightJeremy Goldman guided the conversation toward how these shifts will reshape media, marketing, and the future of work.

💡 The consensus: AI can amplify creativity, but it does not replace creators, it’s all about how we use it.

✨ These two gatherings reflect Yorkseed’s mission: to build curated, high-signal spaces that spark action across industries and borders. Thank you to everyone who joined us during this important global week in New York.
